so wilson and madison had a big debate. wilson became a very distinguished u.s. supreme court justice and he died, alas, in debt, it was a sad ending to a heroic career. but right now we're about to see the very first draft of the u.s. constitution written by james wilson. so now we are going to see the rarest draft of the u.s. constitution in american history. the very first draft. many of us know the copy of the constitution in the national archives, but that was the final copy. every important document has a first draft and this is it. it was drafted on july 24, 1787. remember the constitutional convention begins on may 25. i remember that because the address of the national constitution center is 525 arch street in philadelphia. 525 is may 25 and two months later was the first time that the committee created this draft of the constitution. so how did it end up here? well, it belongs to the historical society of pennsylvania and james wilson died in 1789, the year the bill of rights was proposed. he gave this document, along with a bunch of others of his paper

but woodrow wilson was a southerner. everybody in his, you know, large number of the people in his cabinet were southerners. it was part of the culture of his time and his administration. thank you. yes, ma'am. >> that's not on? >> yes. >> thank you for writing this book. it's very interesting. and my question is, what happened to edith after his death? was there some sort of federal support or pension for her to care for her or what happened? >> good question. she lived for 38 more years. at the time she died in 1961, she was 89. and by the way, she died on woodrow wilson's birthday which kind of gives me goose bumps. but there was no definite policy about giving pensions to the widows of presidents. they had to be negotiated kind of on a year by year basis. i think eventually they were established. but in the beginning, it was a little bit dicey. she, of course, had been quite wealthy before she married woodrow. she had that flourishing jewelry star although that kind of took a hit during the depression and she had eco
